Topic: Can't Open Options on OSX

I have GnuPG installed but the extension isn't seeing my keychain and default signing/encryption key.  I tried to open the options, both through the Tools->FireGPG->Options menu and from Tools->Add-ons and clicking Preferences.  Neither one opens the options dialog so I cannot check and fix my GPG details.  I have had similar problems with one or two other extensions, but most of them work fine.

We know this bug, we will solved this as soon as possible !

Re: Can't Open Options on OSX

Excellent!  Thank you!

I did notice that at one point, the dialog did open.  It was behind my main window, though.  Once I moved it forward, now it opens in the front as I expect.

I now have my default key selected and my path to gpg correctly set.

Re: Can't Open Options on OSX

What path is GPG located in on your Mac?

Re: Can't Open Options on OSX

I had the same issue, and once I minimized everything the options window was in the back.  On each subsequent options open it was where it should be, in the front.

On my system, gpg is in "/usr/local/bin/gpg"

Re: Can't Open Options on OSX

Chrismar described exactly what happened with me.  And my gpg is also in /usr/local/bin.

Re: Can't Open Options on OSX

I get the same symptoms as cmdline first described. gpg is in "/usr/local/bin/

Re: Can't Open Options on OSX

Is ther a way to set the path to GPG without accessing options? I can't see it and it isn't hiding behind any other windows :-(

Re: Can't Open Options on OSX

Yes, type 'about:config' in the url bar (?), and look for 'extensions.firegpg.gpg_path' and 'extensions.firegpg.specify_gpg_path' options !

Re: Can't Open Options on OSX

The FireGPG's Options window does not open until you quit the browser - it is displayed when all other Firefox windows close. When I changed gpg path (it's /opt/local/bin/gpg on my system) options display normally.

How can I find which path to use. I'm quite a new Mac user and I can't find /opt in my Finder window.

Any help gratefully received!

Cheers

PS: Tried your path and it works! Thanks

Try :

which gpg

...but I'm not sure if it can work un Mac OS, it've tried this command on GNU/Linux.

Re: Can't Open Options on OSX

Thanks, That works nicely! I'll have to remember that for Linux as well.

Re: Can't Open Options on OSX

Has this been fixed yet? I am having the same problems. What's worse, is that even if I specify the path, it still cannot find gnupg. I have gnupg installed as /sw/bin/gpg (with the gpg_path set in correctly). 

Additionally, as an FYI, /sw/bin/ is in my path; and the gpg-agent is not installed.
